Being from the UK, it's unlikely that anyone upon meeting Johnny would peg him for a country star, but looks can be deceiving and in Johnny's case they are. Having grown up in a very traditional setting, it's hard for anyone to really say where his love of country music came from, perhaps from his parents or the foreign radio which is so prevelent throughout Europe. Regardless of where he began, his career has carried him far and wide and Johnny Reid tickets are now sold everywhere, even across the pond in the capital of country music itself. Johnny Reid is a testament to music's universal nature and even that which doesn't originate in your country may become increasingly popular, as is the case with country music and Scotland.
One thing that sets Johnny Reid apart from all the other musicians whom were born in the US, is the subject matter of his songs. Growing up in a land that is different from many of his fervent listeners, they'll find the things he has to say are refreshingly different and heartwarmingly the same. Pick up and have a listen to his latest album 'Out of the Blue' if you care to see for yourself.
